If I Could - Nicole Atkins

Why are we rushing everywhere if it doesn’t move you?

Just cuz you have places to go

That doesn’t prove you can outrun your past

Wherever you go that’s where you are

So please stay by my side

Don’t say goodbye

If I could make you stay for a while

If I could make you stay for a while

Keep you far away from harm

Forever in my arms

I would if I could

There is nothing that I can do to change what is happening to you

If I knew the words to say to make all your troubles go away

A way to live, a life to love

Whatever you dream of

Stay by my side

Don’t say goodbye

If I could make you stay for a while

If I could make you stay for a while

Keep you far away from harm

Forever in my arms

I would if I could

I would

I would

I would
